From questions to impact in spinal muscular atrophy - identifying community-driven research priorities through a multi-stakeholder European initiative

Abstract Background Advances in medicines have transformed the outlook for people living with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), yet many needs remain unmet. As the scientific and clinical environment evolves, aligning research priorities with the lived experience of patients is incr...

When does perspective-taking predict coalition success? The interplay of propensity, accuracy, and social predictability

Theories of coalition formation assume that coalition outcomes are determined by static features of the game (e.g., players' resources), because these features are thought to elicit universal allocation norms that allow players to anticipate each other's demands. Yet the same str...

ACPC-MAP: a protocol for manually aligning structural T1-weighted magnetic resonance images to the anterior commissure – posterior commissure plane according to clinical standards

Abstract Realigning structural MR images to stereotactic AC-PC space is a standard procedure that enhances anatomical consistency both within and across neuroimaging studies, allowing for precise spatial localization and reliable cross-subject comparisons in both clinical and res...

Understanding daily positive emotion regulation: examining associations with momentary emotions and anhedonia

Abstract Disturbances in positive emotion play a unique role in mental health problems, but little is known about how positive emotion regulation (ER) processes unfold in daily life. This study aimed to capture the dynamics of daily positive ER processes by investigating (1) whic...

Modeling Between-Group Differences in Dynamics of Psychological Constructs in the Presence of Measurement Non-Invariance: A Stepwise Approach

Researchers analyzing intensive longitudinal data often aim to detect between-group differences in dynamics of psychological constructs, such as positive and negative affect. These constructs are usually latent (not directly observable). To validly compare groups of individuals i...

Significant other reported outcome measures within European cohorts of severely injured patients: A systematic review

Abstract Purpose Major trauma can have a long-term impact, leading to diminished health-related quality of life (HRQoL) for patients and their significant others (SOs). Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) make this impact visible, providing expectation- and self-management....
